County Politics-With the budding Of

primaries. Indeed, ii the reports that daily
reach US from every section Of the county
have the smallest semblance of truth, each
office to be filled will be warmly contested
by any number Of aspirants.
There will be NO election this fall for
State Senator, as Senator Peters term Of
office holds over until 1889. All the balance
Of the county offices with the exception of
Clerk and Register, however, are to be filled,
and for these we give such names as have
been prominently spsken'of here within the
past four weeks, and which have reached us
also through other channels. We Do not,
therefore, vouch for the verify Of the re-
port, but simply give ito our readers as an
item of news.

hard to select a good legislative ticket. The
